Baby Sea Lion Climbs Onto Boat And Snuggles With Sailor

One month ago J.R. Gilkinson of Orange, California was sailing off the coast of Newport Beach, California when a sea lion pup hopped aboard his boat. Once aboard the baby sea lion got closer and closer to Gilkinson before spending an hour snuggling with him. Gilkinson said the pup jumped into the water before the family returned to shore and he called the day at sea ‘one of the best days of his life’.
